OPTIMAL STANDARDS AND QUALITY
As part of our commitment to delivering quality and a consistent line of cattle, we select genetically superior Black Angus bulls which meet our pre-determined equivalent “breeding value” benchmarks and phenotype standards.
With proper lineage, the overall health and soundness, reproductive efficiency as well as muscular growth and development of the animal can be predicted.
Superior genetic composition also promotes uniformity in essential traits, such as good temperament and social behaviour, thereby engendering cohesion, comfort and happiness in the collective herd.
